About the Author

John Lawless

John had served as primary author and editor for The Bluegrass Blog from its launch in 2006 until being folded into Bluegrass Today in September of 2011. He continues in that capacity here, managing a strong team of columnists and correspondents.

Well, Poser to Songwriter didn’t have quite the same ring. But seriously, I have four songs under contract and many others that I’m pitching, including one I co-wrote during WOB with one of the most-recorded writers in bluegrass. So while i haven’t caught up to Tom T. and Dixie, I’m working on it.

Cliff Abbott

Can Tony pick the flattop? You bet David Morris is a songwriter! Like all but a very few songwriters, he lurks in relative obscurity while the performing artists bask in all the riches and glory (or whatever passes for riches and glory in the Bluegrass world). Still, he’s written some powerful stuff and you’ll be hearing more from him.
